RB-1 - Upright Bass Pickup (Passive)
The RB-1 (passive) provides our RB bass bridge sensor pre-wired to a small black jack assembly that easily clips between the strings just above the tailpiece. The RB sensor element is designed to fit in the wing slot of a bass bridge. Normal placement of the sensor is in the bass side slot. Sound Clips: Clip 1 Technical Main Sensor: The RB sensor has a nominal thickness of 0.25" (6.35mm) and requires a wing slot opening of approximately 0.225" (5.7). The fit of the sensor in the slot is meant to be snug and there is intended to be a slight interference fit. The sensor will compress slightly as it is pushed into the wing slot. Black Jack Assembly: Provided with the RB-1, the black jack assembly simply clips between the D and A strings just above the tailpiece. The output jack itself is a standard 1/4".
